Very neat somewhat prismatic bright lustrous twinned crystals of galena to over 2.0 cm in length throughout the front side of this 12.0 x 12.0 x 5.5 cm matrix. Highlighted with much pearly white dolomite crystals, this is an outstanding condition. Exceptional crystals for the species from this mining district to show this sort of twinning.
